ORANJESTAD (AAN): There was little missing and a majority in the Parliament in Aruba to give the power to the Oduber cabinet to retire the Attorney General and Head Officer of Justice of Aruba. This was based on a proposition made in a hysterical manner by the Prime Minister Nel Oduber and the leader of the RED faction, parliamentarian Rudy Lampe. Aruba almost entered into a disastrous adventure.

All this was caused by a misuse of what he wants to do to get rid of the people who in a form have discredited Aruba’s name greatly.

After the announcement of the boycott against Aruba was made by the Alabama Governor Bob Riley, a faction of the AVP asked for an urgent parliament meeting to discuss these worrisome developments.

At one point in the meeting, Prime Minister Nel Oduber started to suggest that they have to look at the Public Ministry for who is responsible for this situation. Nel Oduber insinuated in the direction of the Attorney General, Head Officer Of Justice and other police functionaries who have failed in this case.

Here is where DIARIO understands that parliamentarian Rudy Lampe did not hesitate to win. The rancour of Rudy Lampe against the AG, Therese Croes-Pedra came out right away.

Lampe, with his eyes open wide and apparently very emotional came forth with the proposition to give Nel Oduber the complete authority to retire the AG, the Head Officer of Justice and others and at the same time open an investigation into the case
Also, Rudy Lampe instigated towards that the whole parliament has to support removing these people and no one will talk of political persecution.

Prime Minister Nel Oduber who felt support from the RED leader and continued speaking that he has to do what he has to do. In a hysterical manner the two figures starting speaking about the decision to retire [those responsible] and an official investigation of the Public Ministry.

At this moment the leader of the AVP faction, Mike Eman got up and practically said that people come to their senses and realized what they are saying.

He showed that Aruba cannot enter into such an adventure and that it has no basis or sense to go in this preposterous direction. This discussion, in the end, came to call for them to take care of not turn a crisis into a national drama with heads falling unjustly and against all rules of governmental seriousness.

In an interview DIARIO held with Prime Minister Nel Oduber, he could not deny that this took place in parliament and that this macabre plan was prevented by a certain person in the opposition who stood up and stopped it. Nel Oduber regretted that these news came out because it was a serious meeting.

On the other hand, it has to be said that the information is circulating on the street because many of those who were at the meeting, among others people from the Task Force, who were shocked by the proposition of Nel Oduber and Rudy Lampe, came with him.

It was spoken as if the persons here fell into a kind of hysteria based on the hatred they have for figures in the Public Ministry and police and they want to use the Holloway case to remove them.
